# Echoes of 28

AI-made. Made with AI, as its festival says: “The 2026 edition of the Artefact AI Film Festival — an international competition for short films made with generative AI, organised by Artefact with mk2.” ([its page](https://artefact-ai-film-festival.com/), read 2026-11-12).

By Serg Banjono Goldenok, as [Artefact AI Film Festival](https://artefact-ai-film-festival.com/gallery) names them.

When a mysterious temporal rift freezes an entire battlefield in time, a father disappears into a war from which he may never return. Seventeen years later, his son sets out to find him. Armed with an experimental device capable of manipulating time, he ventures into the frozen battlefield, where soldiers and machines remain trapped in a single moment. Echoes of 28 is a science-fiction drama about the bond between a father and son, the passage of time, and a connection that refuses to disappear — even when the world itself stands still.
